Digital Colony Counter

The Digital Colony Counter is a precise and efficient instrument used in microbiology laboratories to count bacterial or fungal colonies on agar plates. Designed for accuracy and ease of use, the device features a digital 4 to 6-digit LED or LCD display that provides instant, error-free colony counts. It works through a sensitive pressure-touch probe system, which registers each colony counted with a gentle press and simultaneously updates the digital count.

The unit typically includes a 100 mm to 110 mm illuminated magnifying glass or lens, enhancing visibility for small colonies, along with a uniform glare-free backlit illumination system (often LED-based) to ensure clear contrast between colonies and the medium. A reset function, audio confirmation beep, and automatic average count calculation are standard features in most models.

Built with a durable and compact housing, the Digital Colony Counter is suitable for high-throughput labs in clinical, pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and biotech settings. It supports counting accuracy, reduces manual error, and significantly improves workflow in microbial analysis and quality control environments.
